Please read to the end ... many details to know... Join us for a fun-filled afternoon at playing Ping Pong. Sure Pickle Ball is all the rage yet Ping Pong is a unique experience and is safer, however, it's a little more challenging yet easy to learn while meeting new friends.

We will start with practise for a half hour before team play begins. Remember, we play for fun. You will get in lots of table time with a 3 hour event. I was fortunate enough to have a Ping Pong table in our basement growing up. With 3 other brothers we had some serious rivalries going on. The more you play the better you get. My youngest brother mastered the art of spinning his return shot to make it very difficult on how you played your next return volley. Arrive 10 - 15 minutes before...a chance to meet 'n greet your fellow players while changing into your running / tennis shoes. Otherwise you will not be allowed to play. **Event fee $25** Please bring exact cash This is a 3 hour event. Play begins at 2:30 pm All are welcome regardless of skill level.
